About My Business
Tan in the City was founded with a simple mission: to provide New Zealanders with a professional, confidence-boosting spray tanning experience in a welcoming and inclusive environment. What began as a single salon has grown into a respected multi-location business with salons operating across Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin, with continued expansion through strategic partnerships. For more than 14 years, Tan in the City has become known for its commitment to exceptional customer service, industry-leading tanning techniques, and consistently high-quality results. Every client receives a personalised consultation to ensure their tan is tailored to their skin tone, lifestyle and desired outcome. From first-time tanners to brides, celebrities, fitness competitors and loyal regular clients, our team is dedicated to making every customer feel comfortable, confident and valued. Our customer experience extends far beyond the treatment room. We have developed comprehensive pre and post-care education, loyalty programmes, memberships, flexible service options, and ongoing staff training to ensure a consistently exceptional experience across all locations. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where clients feel genuinely cared for, resulting in strong client retention, word-of-mouth referrals and thousands of repeat visits each year. Tan in the City is also committed to supporting the wider beauty industry. As exclusive users of Black Magic Tan products, we champion professional tanning standards, provide education and mentorship within the industry, and actively support local community initiatives, events and charitable causes. Our success has been built on a simple philosophy: every client deserves to leave feeling more confident than when they arrived. This customer-first approach has helped establish Tan in the City as one of New Zealand's most trusted and recognised spray tanning brands.
Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award
If Tan in the City has ever helped you walk into a special occasion feeling more confident, we'd be incredibly honoured to have your vote. For more than 11 years, we've had the privilege of being part of thousands of life's biggest moments. We've tanned brides before they walked down the aisle, students before their school balls, mums before long-awaited holidays, competitors before stepping on stage, and everyday people who simply wanted to feel their absolute best. To us, a spray tan has never been just about colour. It's about confidence. From day one, our mission has been to create a business where every person feels welcomed, valued and comfortable the moment they walk through our doors. Whether it's your very first spray tan or your fiftieth, we want every visit to leave you feeling more confident than when you arrived. As a proudly New Zealand-owned and owner-operated business, Tan in the City has been built from the ground up through hard work, genuine care and the incredible support of our clients. Every review you've written, every recommendation you've made to a friend and every appointment you've booked has helped us grow into the business we are today. This award isn't just about recognising our team—it's about celebrating the amazing community that has supported us throughout the journey. Your vote would acknowledge the relationships we've built together over the past 11 years and inspire us to continue raising the standard for professional spray tanning in New Zealand.
